Give Thanks

Not believing in anything I just sit,
listening to my breathing
After thirty years
It still goes in and out.

Jaya Yoga Virginia

What is the purpose of Yoga? This is an idea I have been thinking about every since I first began yoga 14 years ago. Yoga should be for everyone. Everyone. Meaning no financial restrictions, no secret handshakes, and no special yoga pants required. It should be a way to embody our best expression on and off the mat by empowering the individual to live a healthy life and then creating positive change within our community.

I have found a great space where I work, Tidewater Staffing, to be able to provide the community with complimentary yoga offerings. The website is www.tidewaterstaffing.com and the address is 5425 Virginia Beach Blvd.
 

Here is November's Schedule (please check often, subject to change):
Saturday 11/19--- 10-11:30am Mysore, Ashtanga
                             12-1pm Community Yoga (all levels)
Saturday 11/26--- 10-11:30am Mysore, Ashtanga
                             12-1pm Community Yoga (all levels)

All classes are intended to be fun, light, and supportive. No worries if you are a beginner, everyone is welcome. Bring whatever makes you feel comfortable. You can substitute a towel for a mat and just where workout/comfy clothes you can move in. If you feel like you need to come and just take rest the whole practice, sit in the corner and meditate, or practice handstands---all is welcome as long as we are respectful of each other. These classes are for everyone--bring your mom, bring your girlfriend, invite your coworkers--  anyone that might dig it.

Thank you for your support.
Jai!
